I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We just got back from a great family gathering at our parents, Al and Peggy, in Davis, CA, and I wanted to share a quick photo of our bird. It was a buxom 20-pounder, and tasted almost as good as it looked. I'll be back to work tomorrow, starting in on a whole slew of new videos. One we'll have coming soon, will be inspired by the pan-roasted artichoke hearts seen below. Stay tuned!

I baked my first turkey yesterday, and it was amazing. The turkey was moist and delicious. I would like to thank you once again for the wonderful recipe. I added lemon and garlic and massaged the breast and leaved it for 1 hour before finally put in the oven. The result was amazing!

Anyway, I wanted to tell you that I just discovered your site in the last week or so and consider it better than any cookbook I've ever bought. Thus, I sent you a Paypal donation for my newest and "bestest" cookbook ever!

Hi Chef John,I've been making turkey for Xmas for many years, but the one I made from your recipe was the best of them all. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with us. HAPPY 2011!Virginia Pereira
